Thread: Boat crash on the Rez

As I read this, it's hard for me to imagine low bridges without no-wake zones. There's not a no-wake under our largest bridges but they are for barge traffic and very wide between the piers. A couple of years ago the Coast Guard pulled the no-wake buoys at the Jonathan Creek/Hwy 68 bridge and instantly it was a demolition derby with idiots on tritoons and every other type of boat imaginable running wide open thru a channel no more than 100 feet wide that ALWAYS has boats fishing under it. There was an instant public outcry and the buoys were replaced. The no wake starts about 150 feet either side of our bridges.

I might run mine wide open for short runs (5 minutes at a time or so) in open water without traffic. They actually need to run WOT some when they’re new to seat the rings. To seat the rings properly, the engine must reach max temps. Ask Wilbur what happens if ya don’t.

That being said, I very seldom run my engine anywhere near WOT after I get through the break in phase and seat the rings.
